I think I agree with most of what dove said. I always looked at my depression and saw this strange girl that was different - and therefore bad, wrong, etc. It was such a strange experience to see that movie. I, too, have depression and tried to swallow a bottle of pills. Thirty years ago I would have been right where she was. How strange!
I didn't hate the movie though. It made me long to be with these girls, to be around people who understood the ups and downs, the beauty of the ups and downs, the complete bliss that comes with the moments of happiness, no matter how rare...because you know how god awful the depression is once it floods over you.
No, writing about it and all that stuff won't fix it or make it go away. The movie definitely had room for improvement, but I liked it. It was disturbing and comforting at the same time.
